Welcome to the Bowers Guest Book

Back in 1998, I set up a simple guest book function on Bowers.com so people could post mesages to it on their own. The system went through some rough times due to kids posting improper messages and SPAM. Eventually I took the feature off-line in June 2001.

With the new site overhaul, I have a nice automated system that requires people to create an account and verify their e-mail address before being able to post. Hopefully this time, I will be able to allow folks to post their own messages without having to police them as much anymore...

Australia

My aunt Mary O'Sullivan (born Jullunder, India, 1890) married Clifford Bowers (b. 1883) and eventually in 1925/26 emigrated with him from England to Fremantle in Western Australia, setting up a farm about 250 miles north of there, and eventually dying in Perth in 1963. They had two sons, Pat Bowers (b. 1917) who inherited their farm and later retired to Perth himself, and Tony Bowers (b. 1919) who founded a timber business in Sydney. We European relations have lost touch. I have been researching the family's history for a while, and am keen to re-establish contact with the Australian family.

A Bowers in Southampton

Hi I live in Southampton, England.

I have Romany roots [on my father side] and are very proud of them. My great Grandfather was Noah [Chalkie] Bowers
and my Grandmother was Lavinia [King and Queen of the Gypsies]

I am just starting a family tree, with the help of my son. Just wish I had done it while my parents were alive. It would have been much easier and much more fun.

Bowers familymembers in Newfoundland Canada

Hi Ray and fellow Bowers Family members world wide. My particular interest is the Bowers Family name pertaining to those who have setteld in Newfoundland specifically Green Bay area)Canada. The earliest records I have in my family date to John Bowar who married Jane Noble in Nippers Harbour. I have much more information on those who have the Bowers family name from the same generation and generations that followed yet I am unable to see a common connection to unite all names into one family! I will gladly share my info with fellow family researchers in the hope that a common threat may be revealed.

Wow, there's a lot of us. I was born Bowers. Father was born Billy Edger Bowers in either North or South Carolina, not sure,later a school teacher changed his name to William Edward Bowers because she thought it was more proper. He died June 1996. Grandmother was Thelma Bowers died 1989, I do not know what his fathers name was. He had a slew of brothers and sisters, Troy Bowers, Carl Bowers (both CA), Albert Bowers (TN), Francis Bowers, and more but I don't know the names either.

James Stratton looking for Carole Bowers

I came across this message from James on a Bowers site. I believe the Carole you are looking for is my mother. She recognizes your name and said she has met you before when whe visited Scotland with her mother, Chris, some 20 years or so ago. I have tried to contact you before, thought I would try this way instead of the Stratton email address. Carole would like very much to get in contact with you also. My email address is scnassos@yahoo.com . Hope to hear from you soon.
